      I'm currently setting up a Picade build (that was FUN to make, btw!) with RetroPie installed... and I'm trying to configure an extra roms/themes directory to launch and play PICO-8 cartridges with... the typical PICO-8 license comes with a Pi version; and the simplistic control scheme makes it a terrific match for such a setup.

      But I'm having trouble getting it to actually launch the games. I've set the "system" parameters in es_systems.cfg (and made sure the pathnames match - it DOES display a category and the files correctly), made a psuedo-themeset (by copying another theme subdirectory and changing the params there); went into the File Manager and "sudo chmod +rwx"-ed the directory (so it can launch the program and edit the cartridges, as well as allowing me to copy them via Wi-Fi)... but for some reason PICO-8 doesn't seem to want to load from RetroPie.

      Is there something I'm missing here?

        Hi there!

        Nobody has been able to get it to work?

        I'm currently having the same issue on Retropie 4.2. I made some tries following the docs and a guide from the pico8 forums but i still can't figure out how to make Retropie show the pico8 games in the main menu :/

        Maybe it's necessary some addicional configuration?
